GenoExplorer™ microRNA Biochips Kit
Product Overview
GenoExplorer™ Biochips
Comprehensive Probe Content
GenoExplorer™ chips consist of probes for all miRNAs as registered and annotated in
the miRBase at The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. A key differentiator of the
GenoExplorer™ chip’s content is the inclusion of probes for precursor miRNA as well as
mature miRNA. The content also includes probes for positive controls (e.g., 5S rRNA,
tRNAs, U6) as well as negative controls.
Customizable Chip Formats
GenoExplorer™ chip products come in several formats. Check our website for updates
on the species-specific chips available. Orders of other species are also available upon
request.
3-D Gel Matrix for Optimal Hybridization Environment
The surface of the GenoExplorer™ chip is composed of a 3-D gel matrix which provides
a more optimal hybridization environment by extending the probe into the solution and
increasing its access to the target.
